I did this a few years ago as an experiment. It lasted all winter and worked great for sore throats. I’m going to do it again this year. I saved a few seeds from the lemons and planted three lemon trees. One didn’t make it, one was given to my son (not sure if it made it or not), and the final one is now 3 feet tall. I will share a pic of it Magick Gardens later. I keep forgetting to take a pic.
